Very disappointing turn of events in Ecuador: Left-wing candidate Arauz conceded defeat without a whimper, after suspicious results from the corrupt electoral council, which is controlled by the right-wing.

Arauz even said he will call banker candidate Lasso to congratulate him

Ecuador's National Electoral Council (CNE) is run by biased anti-Correísta opposition politicians from the right-wing CREO party of banker Lasso and the US-backed Pachakutik, handpicked by the Moreno regime

It's corrupt and its results are very suspicious

The sad fact is Andrés Arauz was too soft. That he gave up without fighting reflects weakness.

This is a lesson for chauvinistic Western "leftists" who condemn Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua as supposedly "authoritarian." They know how to fight and win, despite constant attack.
